Bale

Labrador

Bale is our senior Therapy Dog and has years of experience visiting different settings and providing 1:1 support to his young person, Harry.

​

Bale forms bonds quickly and loves being around people, providing them with emotional support.  Bale is trained in offering deep pressure therapy, but will also initiate cuddles or brush up against people to create a connection.

Grace

Portuguese Water Dog

Grace is our emotional support dog, whose main skill is providing deep pressure therapy, reducing anxiety, and providing relaxation. This makes her perfect for those who may not have experience being around dogs, are a bit wary, but want to interact with a dog. 

​

She has such a natural way of making people feel like they are the most important person in the room and has a calming energy.

Arthur

Labrador

Arthur is affectionate and laid back. He will act on his own initiative during a session, which helps to break down barriers and form a bond. Arthur loves to learn new tasks, happily engaging in any game or activity with clients of all ages.

 

He loves his role as a Community Therapy Dog, as it involves being active, meeting lots of new people and visiting new places.
